Insurance, Assurance

3 Comments

A sentence settled in this morning and does not appear to be leaving. 

JESUS does not issue fire insurance policies.

Praying the sinner’s prayer as it has been called for ages, because we are afraid of going to hell is not salvation.
We don’t get saved because we are afraid of going to hell. Now it does point us in the right direction toward salvation.  Of that, I am certain and grateful.

We get saved because we have had enough of carrying around the conviction and filth of sin and we have come to know we cannot save ourselves and we have become certain JESUS’ Sacrifice and Resurrection is enough to save even me (and you).   It’s a GIFT.
Faith is a gift! And when it is offered to you by HOLY SPIRIT, accept it immediately!  You have no guarantee He will offer it to you again. Here’s a LINK to some Scripture to help explain. salvation

Father GOD, it seems to me there are people, perhaps a lot of them, who do not want to go to hell; they want a way out of hell — who wouldn’t want to escape that place of heinous torment?  But do they want YOU? Do they want YOU cleaning up the way they think and do? Do they know that their sins are not just bad but deadly? Do they know that being sinners means we deserve hell? Do they know that YOU want to save them not just from hell but death and corruption and evil and practicing evil? Do people know that sin is evil? That their sins are evil?  Oh, Father, I want them so much to KNOW this. Not because I want to condemn them and hurt them and put them down. No. I want them to KNOW YOU. I want them to live. I want them to be free. To learn to practice sin less and less. I want them to not only miss hell but NOT MISS YOU.  And yet this I know JUST me telling them is not enough, YOU, HOLY SPIRIT, must convict them, and then when they agree with You, assure them that YOU have forgiven them and received them as YOUR OWN. Please do this for any Lost One who comes to this page and every Lost One that I have on my mind right now. Thank You, LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, YESHUA HaMASHIACH. Father GOD, thank You for saving me, thank You for keeping me saved, and thank You for helping me every day. Amen and amen.

JESUS does not issue fire insurance policies.

You get JESUS when you come to JESUS, for JESUS.

Not For Everyone

I was a little short on time this morning to get out of the house to make my way to the office so I could not prepare a posting. Perhaps this afternoon it will be just as good.

Romans 8:28

28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.

Facebook is chocked full of words and pictures that bring out the ‘preacher’ in me.  And just yesterday or perhaps the day before is a case in point. Here’s the post making its rounds.

If you end up in a burning hell for all eternity, it won’t be because you have a tattoo, or because you have a nose ring, or because you drink beer or have an addiction/addictions, smoke cigarettes, or because you spent time in prison. It won’t be because you didn’t do enough good deeds. It won’t be because you didn’t belong to the right church. It won’t be because you belong to the wrong political party. It won’t be because of that dumb thing you did that you don’t want anybody to know about. It won’t be because of what anyone else did to you.
It will be because you refused to receive Jesus Christ as your personal Savior! HE already paid for all the stupid stuff you or I have done, and all the stupid stuff you are going to do, when HE died FOR YOU on the cross and rose again!
HE offers salvation as a FREE GIFT
because, let’s face it, if it was up to us to earn it, we would have no chance.
The gift of salvation is there for you to receive. The decision is totally up to you. The price for your sins has been paid, the way to heaven for you has been made.
AMEN
—copied and pasted, hopefully you will too
I didn’t.
And I didn’t because it’s misleading at best and at worst hindering people from Heaven.
Yes. It talks about salvation as a Free Gift.
Folks, salvation is not FREE.
It will cost you dearly.
Yes. It says we cannot earn salvation and that is true.
But the fact that we cannot earn it does not mean it will not COST us.
What will it cost?
It costs us our love for our sins.

Moses:  Hebrews 11:25  King James Version  25 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;


“The price for your sins has been paid, the way to heaven for you has been made.”

I have to tell you, your sins are NOT paid for UNLESS you repent of them.
Just what does repenting mean?
It means changing your mind.
It means to say the same thing about your sins that GOD says about your sins.

What has GOD said about our sins?
That they have EARNED hell for us. Romans 6:23

So our sins are ONLY paid for IF we forsake them.
That means to CEASE TO PRACTICE THEM.
(Let me urge you to search The Gospels and The ACTS. There you will find John’s message, The Apostles’ message, and YESHUA HIMSELF preached TURN FROM YOUR SINS TO GOD. 
Seriously, check it out.  Here are some Verses to start, in both the Old and New Testaments. Link)

It means we Love and cherish JESUS more than we love and cherish our sins.

Moreover, I must say in order for us to cease to practice whatever sin it is, we will have to stop cherishing that sin.
It’s not pretty but this is the truth — we sin because we CHERISH sin. (cherish defined)
Let me say it again, We MUST say the same thing about our sins that GOD says about our sins.

IF we do not — well until we do there is no evidence to show that we actually have received the gift of deliverance, salvation, and a home in Heaven.

It stirs me (obviously) that I see out there in professing Christianity, the teaching that we can accept JESUS’ salvation and because our sins are paid for, we can sin all we want and still go to Heaven.

People, that is a LIE from HELL.
I think this copied and pasted from Facebook lends to that teaching.

So now you know why I did not copy and paste it to my Facebook page.
